Roundtable on Santuary Cities and Immigration Laws
President Trump hosted California local politicians and law enforcement officials who had fought against the state’s so-called sanctuary law, which aimed to protect immigrants living in the state illegally by restricting local law enforcement’s ability to cooperate with federal immigration officials. Each of them praised the president’s stance on immigration. During the meeting, President Trump said he was proud of his administration’s push to deport criminal immigrants like members of the gang MS-13 living in the U.S. illegally.
